The Megellan space craft that mapped the surface of planet Venus used microwave pulses. This type of electromagnetic radiation has a long wavelength (compared to visible light) that is able to pass through the thick carbon dioxide clouds on Venus. the reflections of these pulses were then used to build up a picture of the solid surface beneath.
